I was earlier interested in getting a Prado but after stumbling on to this forum I kinda change my mind and decided to look for a Rexton instead. Kena racun by you guys. Budget around 50k.
I went to see the add above today, the SUV had a price tag of RM 58.8k. Mileage was 140k and it was not as advertised. No service record. Had leather seat but no 3rd blower. So I wasn't so interested as it has no 3rd blower.
I veiwed another 2 more Rex, one at Jalan Gombak (Setia Jaya) but unfortunately it does not have leather seat. Mileage was 80k i think. Have service record up to 50k @ 2008. Dealer don't give any warranty and does not agree to let you take the car to have a check up.
The other one was in Selayang but had a price tag of 66k for 2005 model. Dealer say can take to SC for check up upon paying downpayment. I didnot test drive it yet. Wasn't very interested due to the listed price.

Hi Ken,
For a RM50k budget, I think it would be at least 12 years old Prado but you could get a 2004 Rexton that has much more power and advance engine, 5 speed transmission, ABS, EBD, etc..
In recent months, Rexton has been in very hot demand and the resale market price for RX270XDI did not actually dropped from last year but in fact, it seems increased slightly this year. This is a good sign that there is a strong demand in resale market which helps to stablise and protect price depreciation.
I just saw these recent ads that's pretty good price
1. Rexton RX270XDI Year 2004 - RM52k with leather seat
2. SSANGYONG REXTON RX 270 XDi ‘04 1 owner s/roof, l/seat 7 seater acc free tip-top RM49.5k 0166970666/ 80769026 4/3/2011
If you are not in a rush, spent a bit of time to survey for a good one but must act fact once you found the right one because it could have gone the next day.
